why does this have different tread than the standard Pasela? Is this tread more or less durable than the typical design? And is the casing the same?

No idea about the tread. I view this tire as a retro restoration tire for 27 inch bikes. It is a classic gumwall. I use thorn resistant tubes and that adds durability.

The thread is most likely different because this a gum wall 27 inch tire and not a regular 700c. You can ride these at lower pressure but that's not always advantageous. they have less rolling resistance and better handling but are way thinner. You will get flats. I havs gotten flats from staples and thorns. These have a great look for a restoration project for city touring. If you want to be indestructible. Go for some Gatorskins. They don't look as good but flats are far more rare. I believe there are also Panaracers with Kevlar.

I don't think they're too different, aside from weight limits. Although it's been years since I bounced on one. Hope that helps.

Bought from a "Used/Like New" seller and, while the tread looks the same, and they included a Schwinn box, the tire was an Innova without kevlar. So I'd avoid the Used offers.

This was folding tire. I actually returned the tires due to some poor reviews. The new Pro Nevgals are getting great reviews. One other note...I had to also return my first choice of WTB Weirwolves. WTB tubeless tires are not compatible with Stans rims.

I couldn't tell a difference between this tire and my old non-kevlar tire, but I'm also not a competitive rider. I have been riding on this tire in NYC 3-7 days a week for the past 4 months and I've had no problems.

Walking or a light jog it seems heavy duty but all tread mills are made of a lot of plastic. I have ran on it and it seemed OK but when I want to run I use my gazell

Hi I thought that both looked about the same but the sportrack was less money. I am pleased with sportrack and I am glad I bought the one with medal hoops that the wheel fit in that has the drop the tire fit in and hold better lee

They are a very hard rubber compound and even if it did not have good brakes there would be no slippage. I have used it in all types of weather while visiting Ports of Call while on cruises and here at home with not one bit of slippage. They are definitely hard rubber with tread.

Originally I had a Maxxis crossmark tire on the front of my Santa Cruz Superlight I purchased the Maxxis Ardent because of the width, wanted more bite in the front end. I think it's more predictable and has a much better bite and is more confidence aspiring. perhaps in extremely hard terrain it may be a little more skittish it works fine in medium and soft soils for me, we ride mostly in medium soil to almost sand. It's a great tire for that, sorry I can't offer you more info as I just haven't been in hard surfaces. Ride On.....

I've owned both, used for MTB. Like someone said before, different design on tire gauge, and frankly the MTB version is easier to read. both are great, but the road morph broke on me. MTB version is beefier and def more appropriate for MTB, probably because of the volume required for the significantly fatter tires. You're just pumping a lot more. It's a bit heavier...but it's awesome. you'll *almost* be stoked for a flat!

The A is last years model. The newer one appears to have a higher chute and different tires. The old tire has a small X shaped tread and the other has a large V shape.

Hi, thanks for the message. Since these are a little bigger you may sense a little faster speed. Also, something to consider is the contact patch. Are these wheels wider or narrower than the wheels that come on Penny boards? I cannot speak to this. Finally, the hardness may be a little different as well. Let me know how else I can help.Thanks!

From what I've read, the Conti GP 4-Seasons only come in three sizes - 23, 25 & 28mm. The 700x28's are what I bought to replace my old Vittoria 700X32's. The 700x28 is a significantly narrower tire (which is what I wanted) and they actually measure closer to 26mm. The benefit is a significantly faster-rolling tire than any 32-35mm tire (and most other 28's, too!). The negative is a harsher ride, especially compared to big, cushy 35mm's. I've had a few flats with them, so they're not as 'bulletproof' as they're made out to be, but all-in-all, they're great tires!

I switched to Lithions for this season and there is a clear difference. Durability is about the same but the Lithions feel extremely heavy in comparison and have a tough time cutting through head winds. I will definitely be switching back to the Endurances next season. It's worth the extra $10 a tire.

Your question is pretty vague. I'll try my best to help! This will be a wider tread than a 700x25 or 700x23. This will give you a bit more rubber between the road. Many newer road frames may not have clearance to support the 700x32, or it'll likely be a tight fit. Rolling resistance is greater than a slick tire, but I can also tell you the extra tread provides great all terrain travel. I use these on hard pack gravel with no issues, and no flats to date with 1K miles on them now.

I replaced a tire on my grandsons bmx with it. Same size. The tread is different, more for road/concrete than dirt.Hope this helps.

I actually wasn't aware of cheaper alternatives at the time of my purchase. I can tell you that the Spoonk combo that I purchased has held up to repeated daily use, standing on it, being thrown around in my trunk, and smashed between furniture during a move. I love it. The spikes haven't shown any signs of dulling. I'm not sure how durable the other cheaper models may be.
